Join us for a walk below the falls at Minnehaha Park with our volunteer naturalist to discover the wonders of spring ephemerals.
About this Event

Join naturalist Dave Crawford to learn about spring wildflowers in the park. Spring ephemerals are the flowers that emerge, bloom, and vanish underground, all before the trees are fully leafed out. The brief window of sunlight allows their brief emerging.

Don't miss out on this chance to learn about nature and explore the beauty of Minnehaha Park.

The planned walk is approximately 1 mile in length. Free. Space limited. Registration required. Sponsored by Friends of Minnehaha Park.

Don't use google maps on your phone with the address listed on this post. Instead link to directions to the free lower level parking lot at Wabun Park, where the walk begins: https://goo.gl/maps/C9u6SRAG5DUaQBTP7

Or follow these directions. From 46th St E and 46th Ave S, follow the signs to Veterans Home and take the right fork at the stone Wabun Picnic Area marker. Parking lot is on the left, before you get to the Vets Home.
